Skeet is 2 weeks old already! The time has flown by, and he is growing so fast! We took him to the doctor on Monday, and everything seems to be fine. Of course we had a million questions for the doctor, but he answered them all, and we feel a little better now. If you notice the growth chart, he lost a lot of weight between the time he left the hospital and was readmitted. When he left the hospital the second time, he weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces. I thought he would lose some of that due to all the fluids he was receiving, but apparently not, because he weighed in at a whopping 8 pounds 12 ounces yesterday. I'm not complaining at all, because at least I know he is eating and is healthy.
He is getting much better about his nights and days, although he still wakes up every three hours or so to eat. At least at night he will go back to sleep pretty quickly (most of the time!). He doesn't have to have a pacifier--thank goodness--but it does help quiet him if he is crying or fussy. We just started putting him in his swing, and he seems to enjoy that. I also put together his playmat (thanks Brandon & Erica!) and he'll lay there and look up at the butterflies. His little umbilical cord fell off early this morning. Actually, I changed him at around 3:00a.m. and it was there, and at 7:00 it was gone! It took me a while to find it; it had worked it's way to the back of his onesie. He is so precious, and we love him so much! Eleisha is coming to town this weekend (YAY!) and is going to take some photos for us. I can't wait!
